This Week’s News from LCHS . . .
We are looking forward to seeing all of you at parent / teacher conferences next week! Crew teachers are reaching out to families to schedule those conferences. If you have not heard from your students’ crew teachers yet, please contact them to schedule your conference. This is a great time to connect with your students and teachers to discuss progress, concerns and celebrations. Official conference times are from 4-8pm on both Tuesday and Thursday, but crew teachers will work with parents to find times that work for everyone.
Senior students and parents, be sure to read the attached flyer for important information about FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) workshop nights. You and your students will get all of the help you need to apply for financial aid for college.
